Abstract

This research aims to examine the enforcement of the Indonesian National Police (Polri) Professional Code of Ethics (KEPP) against Polri members committing criminal acts within the jurisdiction of the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Police (Polda Sultra). Conducted at Polda Sultra headquarters, it employs primary and secondary data analyzed qualitatively and presented descriptively to provide a clear, directed understanding of KEPP enforcement challenges. The Professional and Security Division (Bidpropam) of Polda Sultra processed 168 KEPP violations by Polri personnel from 2018 to December 2022. Of these, 110 cases were adjudicated by the Polri Code of Ethics Commission (KKEP) sessions, while 58 remain pending. This indicates incomplete implementation of KEPP as regulated in Police Regulation No. 14 of 2020 (or related Perpol No. 7/2022 framework), reflecting suboptimal internal oversight by Bidpropam. Bidpropam faces difficulties in educating members on distinguishing internal Polri rules, such as disciplinary regulations from KEPP. Additionally, unit commanders (Ankum) have not effectively imposed sanctions on violators, hindering optimal enforcement.
